(PHILADELPHIA, PA) -- Adult performer and entrepreneur Travis Knight is ready to throw his hat into the Celebrity boxing ring. Knight, a ten year veteran of the adult film world, has gone toe to toe with some of the hottest women on the planet in over 350 scenes. Now he will take on a different challenge when he climbs between the ropes for a Celebrity Boxing Federation match with reality TV star Gervase Peterson in Philadelphia on April 3rd.

The CBF sought out Knight for the tournament and originally wanted him to fight Lindsay Lohanís father. Plans changed when Lohan turned the bout down due to the size discrepancy between the two fighters. Peterson, who starred on the first season of ''Survivor'' was brought in as a replacement.

Peterson is a full five inches taller than Knight who doesnít seem worried. ''Iím ready for whatever heís going to bring,'' says Knight. ''I didnít know who he was until I looked him up on the internet. When Iím done with him he wonít be any different from anyone else I have stepped into the ring with. Weíll see who survives this.''

Knightís wife Gina Lynn will serve as his manager and will be a ringside. ''They called Travis at Skin and it was something he wanted to do,'' exclaims Gina. ''it is something fun and they arenít trying to hide the fact that heís an adult performer. Travis is also doing this for a very worthy cause.''

He will boxing for his sponsor Skin, but he will be donating his proceeds to the widow of Philadelphia police officer John Pawlowski. The office was killed outside of a nightclub on February 13th while Knight and Lynn were inside celebrating her birthday.

''He was a young officer who left behind a pregnant wife.'' Says Knight. ''We have been collecting donations at our Skin store. I am proud to be able to do whatever I can to help.''

Celebrity Boxing 7: Hollywood Showdown takes place on April 3rd at 8pm at the Philadelphia Airport Ramada, 75 Industrial Hwy. Essington, PA (Doors open at 7:30pm)

Tickets are available at Skin in the King of Prussia Mall or at Centerstage Tickets.
